Can You Call A Nine Year Old a Psychopath by Jennifer Khan, originally appeared in The New York Times Magazine. A fascinating look at families dealing with the real possibility that their child may be a psychopath.

‘The Good Son’ is another good one about evil children. Not ~quite~ a horror film but still a great one if you wanna add more to the evil children category! (I”m playing catch up on these podcasts, hence the very dated comment).
